However, near Chascomús, there is a place that broke with this logic thanks to a clear and well-executed proposal: artisanal, abundant sandwiches designed to eat well on the go. According to the Argentine News Agency, it is the 'Entre Pueblos' stop, located at kilometer 122 of Route 2, in front of the Chascomús ACA. It is not a simple roadside cafe or a classic eatery. It also stands out for its artisanal cured ham with confit cherries and sun-dried tomato pesto, and artisanal mortadella with walnuts, an unusual combination for the route but very well executed. The sandwiches at 'Entre Pueblos' are well-filled. Most sandwiches cost around $15,000, with one option slightly above, and all follow a similar logic: artisanal cold cuts, well-chosen cheeses, and accompaniments that add to the main flavor without overpowering it. One of the most requested is the artisanal smoked pastrami, served with provolone cheese, roasted peppers, arugula, and an intense sauce that completes the dish. There is also a vegetarian option based on roasted vegetables, which is not an afterthought and maintains the same quality as the rest of the menu. All sandwiches are designed to be hearty, perfect for sharing or to tackle the final stretch of the journey without hunger. A strategic stop in Chascomús The establishment is located directly on Provincial Route 2 in Chascomús, a city that has historically served as a checkpoint before reaching the Coast. The result is a stop that works for those who stop quickly to stretch their legs from driving, as well as for those who decide to sit down without rushing before continuing on their way. Artisanal sandwiches with real ingredients The difference lies in the ingredients. For those who prefer hot meats, there are options like the herb-crusted pork cutlet, accompanied by sweet-and-sour onions and smoked barbecue, or the grilled chicken, which is the only alternative that goes up to $16,000. It is also not a gas station with a generic menu. The menu is short, direct, and revolves exclusively around the sandwich as the main dish. This is the outdoor patio of the 'Entre Pueblos' stop, located next to Route 2. Its location makes it a practical option for both the trip there and back, without needing to deviate too much from the main road. The hours fit the traffic flow well: it opens in the morning and stays open until late at night, with extended hours on weekends when traffic increases and many travelers look for options for a late lunch or dinner before returning to Buenos Aires. Additionally, they offer a gluten-free option for an extra $2,500, something rare at roadside stops and a plus for those who need specific alternatives.
